The Gangster of Love

By Jessica Hagedorn
 

Directed by Loreta Greco
Magic Theatre

 

THE GANGSTER OF LOVE focuses on the author's own story of immigration from Manila and is based on her book of the same name. In THE GANGSTER OF LOVE, Raquel "Rocky" Rivera and her eccentric family settle in the Haight during the 1970s, amidst a dynamic period of conflict, social change, and artistic flourishing in San Francisco. The lauded city of poets, rebels, and thriving musicians will be reclaimed at Magic Theatre through the eyes of Hagedorn's immigrant artists.

 

This world premiere stage adaptation will feature live music, poetry reading, and music video.
